Starting as a Class Five Mutant-Chapter 506

Using telepathy, Syd communicated with Logan, "These are two special symbiotic entities. Keep them with you and Professor X—they'll protect you if you're in danger."

As he spoke, he fell into thought.

The events of Logan were something he didn't particularly want to witness, yet he also had no desire to personally intervene.

After all, if he stuck too closely to Logan, Dr. Rice and his men might never even show up.

Giving Logan the symbiote offspring and letting them assist him—that seemed like a much better approach.

"Maybe I'll just stay invisible nearby and watch how things play out?"

Syd mused, genuinely curious.

With Venom's offspring aiding him, what would become of Logan?

Would he still die?

...

Below.

Logan, still reeling from everything that had happened, froze when he heard the telepathic message and saw the strange, writhing black-and-gold liquid before him.

"What the hell is this?"

He eyed the two shifting blobs with suspicion.

Could they really help him in a fight?

At the same time, another thought crept into his mind.

How does this kid know who I am?

And more importantly—

How does he know about Professor X?

"You... know me?" Logan asked, frowning.

Syd simply nodded before swiftly taking off, flying into the distance.

Avoiding all potential surveillance, he vanished into invisibility before quietly returning to hover near Logan's position.

Meanwhile, Logan and Gabriela took a moment to compose themselves.

Logan cautiously reached out to touch one of the symbiote blobs.

Nothing.

No sudden attack, no strange sensation.

Instinctively, he scooped them into his hands, examined them briefly, then tucked them into his jacket pocket.

"Let's get outta here."

He glanced at Gabriela.

Without wasting time, he turned toward the vehicle.

Once Gabriela and Laura climbed in, he hit the gas, speeding toward Professor X's location.

From above, various drones and a few distant cameramen struggled to keep up, but soon had to give up their pursuit.

...

Meanwhile, in the laboratory.

Dr. Rice sat deep in thought, replaying the scene where the white-clad mutant had handed something to Logan.

"What's the connection between those two?"

He hesitated, unsure whether he should continue having Donald pursue Laura.

At the same time, Donald Pierce himself shared a similar hesitation.

Time passed quickly.

The sun blazed overhead as a black car sped through the dusty roads, kicking up sand.

Logan drove, with Gabriela and Laura as his passengers, toward their hideout near the Mexican border.

As the car pulled up, a figure wrapped head-to-toe in protective clothing stepped outside.

"Logan, you're finally back," Caliban remarked.

Logan shut the car door. "Where's Charles?"

"In the house," Caliban replied.

The sound of a wheelchair rolling soon followed.

Logan turned to see Professor X.

"Logan, you met the white-clad kid?"

His gaze then shifted to the two newcomers.

"And... who are they?"

Logan sighed. "They're..."

He quickly summarized Gabriela and Laura's situation.

As he spoke, Gabriela hesitated before finally biting her lip and deciding to tell the whole truth.

"I used to be a nurse at Transigen," she admitted.

She then explained how she had helped Laura escape from the gene modification lab and how, besides Laura, other mutant children might have also fled.

She wasn't sure exactly how many had made it out.

Once she finished, she pleaded, "Mr. Logan, please... Take us to Canada!"

The more Logan listened, the more of a headache he got.

He was already regretting taking this job.

But then—

Professor X's eyes lit up with excitement.

"These children... they might be our last hope!"

What he didn't say aloud was—

And that white-clad Omega mutant... He's the future.

If Syd joined them, mutants might actually have a shot at survival.

Logan hesitated.

Then he sighed, unable to ignore the pull of his conscience.

And, well... the promised money helped too.

"Fine," he muttered.

"We'll leave tomorrow."

From above, still unseen, Syd watched as the group entered the house.

Time passed.

Soon, morning arrived.

Logan climbed into the driver's seat, while Gabriela and Laura took their places.

Professor X and Caliban, however, stayed behind.

As the sun cast long shadows over the dusty road, Logan's black car rumbled forward, disappearing into the horizon.

The sun rose, then fell.

A day passed.

As the journey continued, a notification rang in Syd's mind.

[Ability: Avatar of Light (999/1000) – Level 3]

[Light Energy +1]

[Ability: Avatar of Light (0/2000) – Level 4]

As Avatar of Light advanced to Level 4, Syd immediately felt a shift.

His connection to light had grown even stronger.

So much so that he felt as though he might actually become light itself.

But something was still missing.

The transformation wasn't happening—yet.

"Looks like I need Level 5 for the real breakthrough..."

Syd sighed but remained hopeful.

He was close.

Very close.

Meanwhile, in the shadows.

Dr. Rice, Donald Pierce, and their forces had spent the last two days deliberating, watching, waiting.

Through surveillance, they noticed that the white-clad mutant had not reappeared near Logan's group.

Realizing that the connection between them might not be as strong as they feared, they decided—

It was time to move.

More importantly, drone footage had confirmed that Logan had encountered the escaped mutant children.

That sealed their decision.

They would strike.

As time passed, Logan had just started talking to the children when—

Rumbling.

A fleet of military vehicles approached from the trees, surrounding them.

Logan's ears twitched.

He turned toward the sound.

The sight of multiple armored trucks and dozens of armed men made his face darken.

The vehicles screeched to a halt.

The doors opened.

From one of them, a middle-aged man with graying hair and a receding hairline stepped out.

He smiled at Logan.

"Allow me to introduce myself," he said.

"My name is Zander Rice."
